I just discovered a round white spot on the side of my Blue Hippo Tang, and on the other side she has ich. What do I do, how can I help her. The ich has allways come and went. I would soak some food in garlic extreme and it would help but now the round spot has me worried.
Thanks

Is your tank a reef or fish only? Does it contain liverock? The best way to do it would do set up a quarintine tank and treat him with hypo-salinity.

I have a nice amount of live rock an anemone and a galaxia coral. I was going to try to go the reef way slowly. I do not have a quarantine tank. I just gave them some seaweed soaked with the garlic extreme again.
Thanks

My hippo had a very bad case of ick and I started to treat it but it slowly got better. I never did a thing but fed it very good.After about 1 month it was completely gone and hasnt returned.I think controling the water temp is very important for hippos.
